It’s never a good thing to have an appliance trip your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause problems during the coldest Lincoln days is pretty high on AW Heating & Air Conditioning’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, you may need a furnace repair. AW Heating & Air Conditioning can help you find out what the exact problem is, but here are examples of reasons we typically see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. No matter what is going on with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a professional.
Overworked Furnaces
Furnaces become overworked for a number of reasons, but they’re typically preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often to blame—and those problems can be easily identified and remedied during a preventive maintenance visit. If those are not responsible for your furnace trouble, AW Heating & Air Conditioning can help you out by performing a furnace repair.
Short Circuits
If you have a short circuit in your furnace, it will trip the breaker immediately when you turn it on. If you believe you have a short circuit in your furnace, call AW Heating & Air Conditioning right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very risky, resulting in fires or other serious damages.
Wiring Problems
Faulty installation or loose connections can cause your furnace to short circuit and trip your circuit breaker. It doesn’t matter how they got that way, loose wires can cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your AW Heating & Air Conditioning expert can find and tighten any loose connections and ensure your furnace is functioning safely.
